Summaries

Maybe you could still ease up on people a bit with your summaries...things like "Holy crap, dude. Tha is about the worst reference to anything I've ever seen being added to a page. Wow. Just, wow." probably aren't encouraging them to be active members in the community. Either say something nice or don't say anything at all. DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 20:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

We're not affiliated with Wikipedia, but a lot of what they have to say about treating users applies here too. Please see their essays on assuming good faith, civility, and being nice to newcomers. Thanks. — It's dot com 22:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

If it isn't broken, don't fix it

Hello Michael. I realize you're trying to improve articles, but several times recently you have made edits to pages in which you changed something that had been a certain way for a long time and replaced it with something incorrect. If you're not sure why something is the way it is, it's best to just leave it alone or ask somebody first rather than blindly making inappropriate changes. Thanks. — It's dot com 21:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sig Color Change (Again)

I want my sig to be green colored like your's for saint patty's day. Including the talk and Contribs thing. Much Appreciated!-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 23:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, but my username has been resrticted from editing user namespaces by the admin and supreme god It's dot com. I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone else. — MichaelXX2 23:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I can make your sig one solid color, but do you want it to be multiple shades of green? If so, I can't help you with that. Homestar-Winner (talk) 23:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh Sorry. Yeah Homestar-Winner, I want multiple shades just like my current one, but green.-Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 23:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit summary again

Re: [1]: Seeing that you've been informed several times not to upload over an image if you change its content, I'd say DeFender was being perfectly reasonable, and that your edit summary was exceedingly rude and completely out of line. Don't do it again. Heimstern Läufer 07:54, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

If you don't know something, then don't answer the question

I can't quite fathom why you would tell someone something that was completely untrue, and then insult them for even asking. Please do some research before answering a question like that, or stay off those kinds of pages. Thanks. — It's dot com 15:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Image summary cleanup

Hey there, I noticed you started doing some summary cleanup. I'm impressed, you seem to understand what the project is about, and you're doing very well. Just a reminder, I noticed that in a couple of places you forgot to add headers, or parentheses around "from Toon" or whatever minor things, so if you could go back and check those things, I'd appreciate it. Also, after you've done a second check on them and it all looks good, feel free to mark them as done on my cleanup sheet (ask me for help if you don't get how, the template is kinda tricky). I'm glad you found something useful that you're good at that will really help the wiki, so I just wanted to say "thank you" and keep up the good work! — Defender1031*Talk 23:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the thanks. I would use the template for marking it as done, but It's dot com restricted my IP address from editing user namespaces. — MichaelXX2 23:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Michael. I moved all the image summary cleanup pages into the project namespace so you can edit them. See HRWiki:Image summary cleanup, etc. You're doing a good job. A quick note though: Don't forget to write your edit summaries so that they make sense in the page history, not recent changes. Keep on tranglin'. — It's dot com 23:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Dot com! — MichaelXX2 23:51, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I had forgotten about this when i wrote my first comment here. Just to be clear, the things to watch out for are listed on the project's page, so if you check each item on each image you clean up, we'll get those images cleaned up faster than you can say "(insert entire works of shakespeare here)" (yes, i know it's long, but there's a fweakin' lot of images!) Keep on trangling. — Defender1031*Talk 00:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
